Resently I got a little family of Messor barbarus ants. There are about 20 workers, unfortunately not all made it trough transport.

So with the idea of not bothering them to much I thought making a photo would be better then watch them. I could study the photo as long as I liked. But I started noticing the queen freaks out and runs around when I open the lid. Could it be she is bothered by the camera flash?
